Invented by Charles Doppelt in 1919, his aptly named 'Dopp kit' was designed to stash a man's toiletries while traveling. Every man should have one. After the U.S. Army issued millions to its recruits during World War II, popularity (and demand) for the travel bags soared. To make your packing less of a headache, keep a kit ready-stocked with grooming products downsized to TSA approved proportions (3 oz. or less). Below, our suggestions for traveling smoothly. Just add your razor and toothbrush.
